Little is a very nice man. I will never forget when my bestie and I were in Hollywood many years back and saw a long stretch limo and recognized him turns out we were staying in the same hotel and he invited us to his room for fruit and kept saying his feet were bothering him. He was performing that night and prayed for us, blessed us and then he gave us gifts, took photos with us and autographed a couple books for us. We were 2 silly girls in our early 20's from Chicago and he treated us like princesses and talked to us like we were his daughters. We were so blessed to have experienced this!
Amen Jesus is real and thanks sir for your testimony because many are headed to hell if they don’t make a decision to choose Jesus and give these people life instead of speaking death over them
I just remember him on that episode of Martin and he joked about not getting credit for nothing! And even though it was funny, you could tell it came from the bottom of his heart. It’s sad how he never got the credit he deserved.
The most noble form of credit due-- is usually, NOT witnessed by others,-- but rather between them , and their Creator - which is all that really counts🙏🤔..regardless..of...what..opinions linger
This man was so kind to my son's dad when he was starting his rap career. They met in Las Vegas and he befriended him allowed him to tell people he was his uncle and introduced him to people in the industry. Never asked for anything in return but friendship and updates about our family.❤️
@@tina8796 Well he did. They're many people who have what we call play uncle's and aunts it's more a gesture of closeness and affection. So don't make it ugly. We loved Mr. Penniman and was honored that he was nice to us. He called many people nieces and nephews in Vegas.
GantzIsSloppy And so the story goes. He was original in his music and entertainment. But I agree we dont pay omege to these ones while they are here. He had to fight to be titled for his gifted talent and the struggle was very well worth it. He had fame and fortune but the powers that be did not want him to be recognized. He made his mark by opening doors for other people today. Not just in the entertainment world but in all areas of civil and human rights. He went back to his roots and we better recognize who and what this man meant to this planet. Love you Mr. Richatd!
I just recalled watching this interview when it aired. And he has now passed on and was never properly honored while alive for his immeasurable influence in music.
What do you mean never properly honored? Cited as influence by most greats, covered by everyone and their mother. Prince has developed his stage presence clearly based on Little Richard. How is all this not properly honored?

old men like him at the time when alive are the people you want to sit down with and share a cup of sweet tea with. They have so much wisdom and knowledge and the stories he has would be so epic to hear.

Yeess indeed he deserves so much more recognition and of course place in the rock n roll hall of fame, if he already hasn't been given that.... ....he definitely wasn't recognized enough for his abundance of musical contributions during his lifetime...
I don't care if he's gay, was gay, used to be bisexual, omnisexual, whatever. I do care that he was a great musician who contributed immensely to the history of rock n roll, even though he wants in his latter years to leave that behind him...and you know what, he's entitled to that too. At least he's still with us. And as far as his faith goes, well if that is what sustains him and gives him solace, good for him.

When I was 3 years old in Australia, there were many Little Richard 45rpms around my home and when I put one casually on the record player, I was mesmerized by this wildman singing out his soul...the song was Lucille...It changed my whole life forever and at 61 I still get my kix from the true father of rock, ty Mr. Penniman !!!
No probably. I've seen him live, you will never forget that moment. He pointed to a few people. To come on stage & my mother was one. " come on up honey child. Her idol" fort Adams Providence, Ri July 1995. He was 68 years old, this was his final tour. Richard pedamen, AKA" Little Richard" said R&R IS R & B With a up tempo. 1951 Elvis came in 1955, four years later. Jimmy Hendrix His bass player, the stones would warm for him. He was such a genius. & so very funny! I like them both. Let's be real about Dates. Richard had James brown, look @ how many bands this gentle soul has Helped along the way. He was the architect of R & R AND THAT IS THAT. R I P, Richard we love you And miss you
@@craighoward6243 I saw Little Richard in concert at the House Of Blues in Anaheim, California in 2003, so he toured after 1995. He was born in 1932, so he would have been 63 in 1995.
@@dgtwo3724 this is exactly what he said." I will be 63 years or I am 63" This is my age as I type. It was a (2) day event (14) bands. Bozz, Eta, Dr. John, Percy Sledge, and Chuck Berry. & did not close the show. This Belonged to Richard, Michael Mcdonald....... Awesome. We all stayed in the same hotel. At the time Newport, Ri Marriot courtyard. WOW, HE CAME OUT AS BRIGHT AS THE SUN. NAVY BLUE SEQUENT JACKET. SEQUENT WHITE SLACKS & SHOES. WOW WHAT A SIGHT & SOUND. CALLED MY MOTHER ON STAGE WITH ABOUT A DOZEN PEOPLE " HE LOOKED @ MY MOM. COME ON UP HONEY CHILD" I GAVE HER A LITTLE NUDGE " WHAT DID U SAY ABOUT HIM " YOUR TEEN IDOL" SHE WENT! What a beautiful (48) hrs. Thx for the memories.
Richard always said that Chuck Berry was his absolute favorite performer. And he and James Brown competed and pushed each other to greatness in Georgia before they both hit big in the 50s. It's remarkable that Little Richard was able to cut loose in the South, during the darkest days of Jim Crow, and actually got away with it because alot of the Whites thought he was GAY! They figured he wouldn't be after the white girls, so he was ok!
@@ladymarmaladea.2463 Well this video shows that he gave up that life style and his music career for Christ! There for i say again, this is what Grace looks like! I'll even add on to to it, this is what a true saint is! It's when you sacrifice things of sin and the flesh to be closer to God! May God bless you and keep you ma'am!
@Taylor Holloway Jesus Christ is not a religion or a cult but a real person who came to earth to set an example of how we should live and he gave his life for us to have eternal life. I've watched testimonies of people who were once atheist, new age, devil worshippers change their life and became born again spiritually and given their lives to Jesus Christ. The devil is a liar, he's deceived many people. At least for brother Richard he acknowledged that he was lost and broken inside spiritually and needed a saviour Jesus Christ. We all are up against a spiritual battle inside. This isn't church talking or religion but the truth. Some people like to argue and say the Bible isn't real. The Ancient sea scrolls prove the King James Bible is authentic. In the Bible 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 14 says but the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 15 says But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. I was once a foolish man but I came back to God

Little Richard left that life behind him, and became a new person. He left the music industry went back to school, graduated from an HBCU , became an ordained minister, and spoke about the ills of the world and love. Little Richard lived a different life because his old life he realized it was idolatry. We have to accept people for the changes they made it their lives, if he didn't feel comfortable with that past, we have to accept it.
@Shawn Kemp Little Richard himself admitted that his music, the rock and roll is not from God, so he was serving the devil singing those songs but gladly he came to know Jesus eventually.
leaaaaah78890 I know, he was fully grown when Jimi Hendrix was a kid. What do people expect? I'm just glad he's still alive. (I wonder why he's so less camp now. Was it all just an act? I thought he was as bent as a $9 bill)
I was holding a cup of hot tea when I read this comment. Almost spilled it cracking up laughing. It always blows my mind reading comments about people getting or looking old as if people getting old is a rare occurrence.
@@zubileegluckgluck Tell that to Little Richard... He loved Jerry. I think Little Richard was 5 times better than Jerry, but they did have a different playing style. In interviews, Little Richard even demonstrated their different piano playing styles. Little Richard was always pounding that piano, whereas Jerry was shuffling to and fro.
Hi little Richard! We had the same hairdresser Vivian on Crenshaw Blvd in L.A. in the early 80’s we sat and talked for over 2 hours! You are a sweet man and I wish you peace and happiness and I pray your health has stabilized! You rocked it Little Richard! Love you!
Was blessed to see him do a live show in 2007, am happy to know he gave his life to Jesus and surrendered. He will always be a legend. He will never be forgotten. RIP IT UP.... Litte Richard
yes at the end of life when the mind is falling apart. he knew what he was when he was a kid. aint nothing changed. been saying the same stuff since then. this will be the 30th return to jesus. at least until mark, john and dave call.
"What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?" Thank you heavenly Father for salvation given through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
I remember seeing him at a L.A. church back in 94. At this time, he was still in Rock n Roll mode with the clothes but he was very chill and humble. I was young and didn’t think it was really him and that the guy was an imposter until one member greeted him with his real name. One thing I do remember is he did have a big head.
Little richard really did change his lifr around and its never to late.he knew gods name was jehovah.may jehovah bless him and remember him. I pray for u richard and please i hope u are not in to much pain.u wii.be blessed for changing your iife to serve jehovah.he no your heart.i send my love and well wishes to u.have a good night little richard.kay
I feel like this local news story reports on Little Richard likes he's not THE LITTLE RICHARD. I was almost like, "Is this a different man going by Little Richard?" They were "has-beening" him so hard. Legend, the architect of rock.
Something more real? Believing in a freaking God or something like that is as unreal as it gets actually xD. That's why it is called believing....and not knowing or thinking.... the opposite of common sense.
“Those days are long behind him” His last performance had been only 3 years ago. He retired from performing at age 81, which is a relatively old age for retirement even for a singer.
@@WontDie4u so you wanna call it knowing in god? That's just dumb, mate. I'm not even gonna bother discussing the matter with you, there are loads of videos for that argument. Just take this thread....did the big bang create humans? That would be unrealistic, right? Have a good day
@@evanshiong3557 I think it was a constant during his life. One moment he'd be up on stage screaming coded gay sex songs (like 'Tutti Frutti'), then he'd take a break from showbiz and get religious for a while. But before too long, he was back at the piano and... _"Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom!"_
A historical man telling a historical true story. He paved the way for many artists who were saluted for being first - but Little Richard never complained...He was first.
No he wasn't first sister Rosetta Tharpe is the inventor of rock n roll...if it makes you feel better for some reason she was black...she started it in the late 1930s and she played guitar better than chuck berry...Chuck berry and little richard went around singing the same 4 songs for their entire careers...Believe me Chuck berry could have never sang If I can dream " Like elvis could never ever and in a million years...if it ain't against your religion to watch a white guy just watch that one song....
Little Richard was a one of a kind person. You don’t hear of very many, if any, “celebrities” that back away from the limelight (R.I.P. Neil Peart) because your fans start to idolize you and “it just doesn’t feel right.” Famous people want the money that comes with the fame but most don’t have a faith so they aren’t really at odds with anything. Little Richard DID have his faith and he chose that over all things worldly.
He still performed during the 90s and up until 2017. He s/b happy fans are idolizing him. There’s nothing wrong with that during a concert. When the concert is over people go home and go about their daily lives. I love Little Richard. RIP 🙏❤️
Wow inspiration this man was in my mother and father life and our life this man will always be remembered he will be missed and always love r i p you was the baddest rock and roll player that I ever known wow wow I would never forget you sir your music was mine blower and I miss 305 condolence goes out to your family and prayers happy Mother's Day to your wife we all know you in a better place no more stress no more pain you live the powerful life you enjoyed your life that's what you took with you but for the family he said he's okay now not to worry but he can't tell you not to cry but he's home and he will be watching over you just stay strong and keep living life to the fullest amen amen
Just because you think Little Richard should be in heaven does not make it so! Are you god?? No! let God be the one who puts people in heaven and hell only he has the authority we don’t! Just stop it
Traveling Express can you shut up? We’re not talking about god here, but about the fact that this legend passed away. Not everybody reads the bible, and so what? You don’t have the right to judge people by that, do you?
It's kinda sad that Elvis Presley only got All the recognition in Rock n' Roll genre than the TRUE Pioneers of Rock n' Roll Little Richard and Chuck Berry 😔
Chuck Berry on your head to number one hits. My Ding-A-Ling and Johnny Be Good I just looked it up Chuck Berry was known for his guitar playing not so much vocalist. You're missing the whole thing Elvis Presley was Versa ties he can sing anything imbalance Rock and Roll country gospel rhythm and blues you name it he can sing it. And today Elvis Presley was a well-known Entertainer he didn't shut down at a piano and saying. He danced around he moved around and he interacted with his fans. And Elvis gave over 200 Cars way to his friends family and fans. He has gave jewelry to his fans. He's did over a thousand shows. Roughly. 150 shows a year..
Well that’s better than dying young and going to eternal burning. Imma need y’all to stop speaking death on him though, not matter how old or young he is.
What a beautiful soul! Little Richard was an amazing person at every stage of his life! Rest in Peace, and hopefully I can catch a show or an appearance in the next world!
You couldn't have convinced me this was Little Richard if I hadn't heard him talk.

Dates. Richard had James brown, look @ how many bands this gentle soul has
Helped along the way. He was the architect of R & R
AND THAT IS THAT.
R I P, Richard we love you
And miss you
@@craighoward6243 I saw Little Richard in concert at the House Of Blues in Anaheim, California in 2003, so he toured after 1995. He was born in 1932, so he would have been 63 in 1995.
@@dgtwo3724 this is exactly what he said." I will be 63 years or I am 63" This is my age as I type. It was a (2) day event (14) bands. Bozz, Eta, Dr. John, Percy Sledge, and Chuck Berry. & did not close the show. This Belonged to Richard, Michael Mcdonald....... Awesome. We all stayed in the same hotel. At the time Newport, Ri Marriot courtyard. WOW, HE CAME OUT AS BRIGHT AS THE SUN. NAVY BLUE SEQUENT JACKET. SEQUENT WHITE SLACKS & SHOES. WOW WHAT A
SIGHT & SOUND. CALLED MY MOTHER ON STAGE WITH ABOUT A DOZEN PEOPLE " HE LOOKED @ MY MOM. COME ON UP HONEY CHILD" I GAVE HER A LITTLE NUDGE " WHAT DID U SAY ABOUT HIM " YOUR TEEN IDOL"
SHE WENT! What a beautiful (48) hrs. Thx for the memories.
" The true 👑 R & R, ROCK & ROLL IS R & B UP TEMPO"
LITTLE RICHARD! R I P
He's a good man. I saw him in concert in 2002 where he played a concert with Chuck Berry. This was at the Universal City Walk by Universal Studios.
Lucky
Richard always said that Chuck Berry was his absolute favorite performer. And he and James Brown competed and pushed each other to greatness in Georgia before they both hit big in the 50s. It's remarkable that Little Richard was able to cut loose in the South, during the darkest days of Jim Crow, and actually got away with it because alot of the Whites thought he was GAY! They figured he wouldn't be after the white girls, so he was ok!
He has given millions happiness through his music. That is a good man.
I opened for Little Richard in 2002. Love you Richard! God bless!
Jealous, that you were not?

Amen. He took the better path. Praise God 🙏.
Elvis is the king

The real king was Chuck Berry…
It's amazing how God preserves you this long so that you can find him and know him! This is what Grace looks like!
NO! THIS IS WHAT GAY LOOKS LIKE.......
@@ladymarmaladea.2463 Well this video shows that he gave up that life style and his music career for Christ! There for i say again, this is what Grace looks like!

So true. Amen to the that
@Taylor Holloway Jesus Christ is not a religion or a cult but a real person who came to earth to set an example of how we should live and he gave his life for us to have eternal life. I've watched testimonies of people who were once atheist, new age, devil worshippers change their life and became born again spiritually and given their lives to Jesus Christ. The devil is a liar, he's deceived many people. At least for brother Richard he acknowledged that he was lost and broken inside spiritually and needed a saviour Jesus Christ. We all are up against a spiritual battle inside. This isn't church talking or religion but the truth. Some people like to argue and say the Bible isn't real. The Ancient sea scrolls prove the King James Bible is authentic. In the Bible 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 14 says but the natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians chapter 2 verse 15 says But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. I was once a foolish man but I came back to God

little Richard is a good Dude, thank you little Richard.
Billy Cross o
I don't like the headline "FORMER rock n roll artist." He IS a rock n roll artist and an iconic one at that
Little Richard left that life behind him, and became a new person. He left the music industry went back to school, graduated from an HBCU , became an ordained minister, and spoke about the ills of the world and love. Little Richard lived a different life because his old life he realized it was idolatry. We have to accept people for the changes they made it their lives, if he didn't feel comfortable with that past, we have to accept it.
You’re absolutely right . Legendary would’ve been a lot more better well as Rock Icon
@Shawn Kemp
Little Richard himself admitted that his music, the rock and roll is not from God, so he was serving the devil singing those songs but gladly he came to know Jesus eventually.
He is rock n roll man
ABSOLUTELY!! ORIGINATOR THE TRUE , SUPREME INNOVATOR! OF ROCK N ROLL!! GONNA MISS HIM!
His death today brought me here...
R.I.P another legend gone
The architecture, originator... the king of rock and roll!!! I'm a real fan!!! Love u, dude!!
if you go back and listen to some of richards gospel records it will amaze you the voice this man has..truly a legend and a gift to us
No thanks, I rather listen to his rock n roll hits that is the reason why we all know who he is in the first place.
RIP LITTLE RICHARD, ROCK N ROLL PIONEER AND LEGEND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
Rest In Peace Little Richard,you were,are and will forever be the greatest of all time!!!
He been going different ways,what ever works at the time he did it. God bless him if he loves what he is doing ,just support him....
I miss him so much, all the music will always be with all of us. RIP Legend
It's time to award this man with a tribute and on the Grammy Award show...
Carletta Bush I bet they will now...RIP
Founder of Rock n roll 👌 😎 🙌 simply the best ever! i am 37 yrs old and love his music
Rip lil Richard u don’t even need to worry about this world anymore
He looks really different, but he still is a legend.
the man wore makeup to play white clubs back in his heyday, then just kept it up for decades after because he embodied flamboyant cool.
He was 80 vs 20 something 😒😒😒😒 and no makeup or hair pieces
Gotta love that man. True heart. And a thank you for his good time contribution. So handsome when he was young.
I met Little Richard at a 7th Day Adventist church in Wilmington, DE. His "sermon" was something else.
私は日本人で彼のことが大好きで、彼のアナログレコードはアルバムもシングルもほとんどすべて所有してます。私は英語はほとんど理解できないのですが、彼は信仰心のある、温かい人間味のある人で、愛すべき人でしたし、ロックンロールの創始者の中でも最も影響力のある人でした。
He's the biggest contributor to music, amazing singer, creator of Rock and Roll!!!
Glad the legend is still around, peace & love Little Richard
R.I.P to my favorite Icon😍😍😍🥰💯👏🏾🌺💜🎤🙌🏾
I love Little Richard he's one of my favourite rock n roll stars
Why are ppl so shocked that he's old? Reality check, we are all going to get old not one person will be spared that destiny not even the celebrities
leaaaaah78890
I know, he was fully grown when Jimi Hendrix was a kid.
What do people expect?
I'm just glad he's still alive.
(I wonder why he's so less camp now. Was it all just an act? I thought he was as bent as a $9 bill)
leaaaaah78890 Some people are just ignorant !
leaaaaah78890. So very true.
leaaaaah78890 yeah but we didn't get to see him aging. I was like where is he the whole video. Shocking!!
I was holding a cup of hot tea when I read this comment. Almost spilled it cracking up laughing. It always blows my mind reading comments about people getting or looking old as if people getting old is a rare occurrence.
R.I.P. Little Richard on today because this short interview just spoke volumes and I know at 87 he's in a much better place.
So happy to see he ended up in heaven ❤️ Wish Elvis chose the same
Former rock and roll artist REALLY put some respect on a legend in the game
He wanted to be former, because he chosed Jesus instead of rock and roll.
Thank Michael Jackson for giving him song rights back.
Sven Nelson Yes. Thank you Michael Jackson. MJ gave them back to Richard . But he wouldn't give PAUL McCarthy back to him /Beatles master records.
April West Paul didn't want them. Lola He gave Michael the advice to purchase song rights.
Christopher Porter Paul did want them back. He was pissed about it . He let it be known in a t.v. interview.
April West im glad he didn't give them back to the Beatles..Fuck the Beatles #Blackmagic
Rilo Ross why you say that ???
HIS EYES - I recognized him very well 'cause of his eyes.
Yeah, that’s what I said.
Eyes are the window of the soul and his were beautiful ❤️!!!
RIP Little Richard! "Good Golly Miss Molly" was one of the very first songs I ever fell in love with. You're a legend!
He's an amazing artist, and wonderful human being. I wish you well Little Richard, your music will live forever.
Little Richard and Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis, living LEGENDS still in 2019.
Chuck berry died in 17
jerry lee lewis directly stole his entire act from little richard and chuck berry. he was more of an impersonator.
@@zubileegluckgluck Tell that to Little Richard... He loved Jerry. I think Little Richard was 5 times better than Jerry, but they did have a different playing style. In interviews, Little Richard even demonstrated their different piano playing styles. Little Richard was always pounding that piano, whereas Jerry was shuffling to and fro.
Hi little Richard! We had the same hairdresser Vivian on Crenshaw Blvd in L.A.
in the early 80’s we sat and talked for over 2 hours! You are a sweet man and I wish you peace and happiness and I pray your health has stabilized! You rocked it Little Richard! Love you!
Rest in Paradise buddy. Your contribution to music will always stand the test of time. Thank you.
Amen, he was always loved by us in the deep South. RIP Little Richard, You Gave Many Of Us Flowers While You Lived!
Was blessed to see him do a live show in 2007, am happy to know he gave his life to Jesus and surrendered. He will always be a legend. He will never be forgotten. RIP IT UP.... Litte Richard
I'm so happy for him! He made the best decision ever!
His mind is clear.
Dino Maxi I am so proud of him! He has very little wrinkles on his face
yes at the end of life when the mind is falling apart. he knew what he was when he was a kid. aint nothing changed. been saying the same stuff since then. this will be the 30th return to jesus. at least until mark, john and dave call.
Dino Maxi YES AND HIS HEART IS RECEPTIVE.AMEN!!!
The angles in heaven are rejoicing....
Hoo da hell iz you MIND YOUR BUSINESS!!!
God gave us You Little Richard; You gave us Rock n Roll; You can have both in the same heart! R.I.P

@@MS-iw4kg what's wrong with faith? Ik UA-cam isn't that much of a place for it, but what's wrong with it tho?
I remember seeing him at a L.A. church back in 94. At this time, he was still in Rock n Roll mode with the clothes but he was very chill and humble.
I was young and didn’t think it was really him and that the guy was an imposter until one member greeted him with his real name.
One thing I do remember is he did have a big head.
Little richard really did change his lifr around and its never to late.he knew gods name was jehovah.may jehovah bless him and remember him. I pray for u richard and please i hope u are not in to much pain.u wii.be blessed for changing your iife to serve jehovah.he no your heart.i send my love and well wishes to u.have a good night little richard.kay
I’ve always loved Little Richards music He’s in heaven now praise God
I feel like this local news story reports on Little Richard likes he's not THE LITTLE RICHARD. I was almost like, "Is this a different man going by Little Richard?" They were "has-beening" him so hard. Legend, the architect of rock.
It seems like he got tired of the fame and money, and wanted something more real and meaningful in his life. The greatest! RIP.
Amen
Something more real? Believing in a freaking God or something like that is as unreal as it gets actually xD. That's why it is called believing....and not knowing or thinking.... the opposite of common sense.
“Those days are long behind him”
His last performance had been only 3 years ago. He retired from performing at age 81, which is a relatively old age for retirement even for a singer.
@@WontDie4u so you wanna call it knowing in god? That's just dumb, mate. I'm not even gonna bother discussing the matter with you, there are loads of videos for that argument.
Just take this thread....did the big bang create humans? That would be unrealistic, right?
Have a good day
@@evanshiong3557 I think it was a constant during his life. One moment he'd be up on stage screaming coded gay sex songs (like 'Tutti Frutti'), then he'd take a break from showbiz and get religious for a while. But before too long, he was back at the piano and... _"Awopbopaloobop Alopbamboom!"_
Dang, it looks nothing like him. His words has put a smile on my face. It's good to see he's got his head on straight.
Bless you Little Richard.
Ageless, he looks wonderful... Thank you for your contribution to this world. You are a legend 💗🙏
A historical man telling a historical true story. He paved the way for many artists who were saluted for being first - but Little Richard never complained...He was first.
No he wasn't first sister Rosetta Tharpe is the inventor of rock n roll...if it makes you feel better for some reason she was black...she started it in the late 1930s and she played guitar better than chuck berry...Chuck berry and little richard went around singing the same 4 songs for their entire careers...Believe me Chuck berry could have never sang If I can dream " Like elvis could never ever and in a million years...if it ain't against your religion to watch a white guy just watch that one song....
Little Richard was a one of a kind person. You don’t hear of very many, if any, “celebrities” that back away from the limelight (R.I.P. Neil Peart) because your fans start to idolize you and “it just doesn’t feel right.” Famous people want the money that comes with the fame but most don’t have a faith so they aren’t really at odds with anything. Little Richard DID have his faith and he chose that over all things worldly.
Him and Chuck Berry are the Architect and Pillars of Rock&Roll.
Jaywu_chakra YESSSSS
chuck berry was inspired by t bone walker , nat king cole and louis jordan
And Elvis was the King.
Yes indeed
Jaywu_chakra noooooooooo! Bill Haley was 👌
He still performed during the 90s and up until 2017. He s/b happy fans are idolizing him. There’s nothing wrong with that during a concert. When the concert is over people go home and go about their daily lives. I love Little Richard. RIP 🙏❤️
If you haven't heard his testimony, you missing out. I heard it yesterday and I was so inspired.
It's a blessing to see Little Richard still alive and well god is great 💯
I haven't seen my cousin in years love u fam please come back home to Macon GA pleasnthill miss u

R.I.P. You're in Jesus' hands now, Little Richard.
God carry he's child home to music heaven.
Wow you don’t read the Bible! I hate when people try to put everybody in Heaven!
God does not work that way in the scripture disagrees with you.
Just because you think Little Richard should be in heaven does not make it so!
Are you god?? No! let God be the one who puts people in heaven and hell only he has the authority we don’t!
Just stop it
Traveling Express can you shut up? We’re not talking about god here, but about the fact that this legend passed away. Not everybody reads the bible, and so what? You don’t have the right to judge people by that, do you?
Thats right Mr.Burrows. how you doin..?
Wow he still look amazing and he still look blessed!
southsidesman - Most women don't go bald.
...and his skin is darker is that is real colour without make up?
April Day - Yes, he lightened himself up with makeup for years.

We love you brother richard rest in power we miss you 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢🥺🥺
It's kinda sad that Elvis Presley only got All the recognition in Rock n' Roll genre than the TRUE Pioneers of Rock n' Roll Little Richard and Chuck Berry 😔
Chuck Berry on your head to number one hits. My Ding-A-Ling and Johnny Be Good I just looked it up Chuck Berry was known for his guitar playing not so much vocalist. You're missing the whole thing Elvis Presley was Versa ties he can sing anything imbalance Rock and Roll country gospel rhythm and blues you name it he can sing it. And today Elvis Presley was a well-known Entertainer he didn't shut down at a piano and saying. He danced around he moved around and he interacted with his fans.
And Elvis gave over 200 Cars way to his friends family and fans. He has gave jewelry to his fans. He's did over a thousand shows. Roughly. 150 shows a year..

Well that’s better than dying young and going to eternal burning. Imma need y’all to stop speaking death on him though, not matter how old or young he is.

Glad he is still here. I thought he had gone in long ago. Sparkling shoes!!!
What a wonderful man. God Bless!
I’m glad to see he’s doing well !! 🙏🏽 I would love to see him play the piano again even if it’s just gospel music !! Looking good Little Richard !! 👍
